Rafael Nadal wins record 9th French Open title. Rafael Nadal maintained his phenomenal stranglehold on the French Open by defeating Novak Djokovic to win a ninth title at Roland Garros. In the modern era, no man has had a tighter grip on a Grand Slam event than Rafael Nadal, whose 3-6, 7-5, 6-2, 6-4 victory over Djokovic allowed him to win his ninth French Open by the age of just 28. His tally of 14 majors equals the mark of Pete Sampras and puts him just three behind the all-time record of Roger Federer who is almost five years older. Defeat was cruel for world number two Djokovic, the 2012 runner-up, who still needs a French Open title to become just the eighth man to complete the career Grand Slam. The 3hr 31min duel ended on a sour note when Djokovic double-faulted on match point, shaken by a shout from the crowd.French Open 2014 Winners:French Open 2014 Men's Singles Winner: Rafael Nadal (Spain)French Open 2014 Women's Singles Winner: Maria Sharapova (Russia)French Open 2014 Men's Doubles Winner: Julien Benneteau / Édouard Roger-Vasselin (France)French Open 2014 Women's Doubles: Hsieh Su-wei (Chinese Taipei) / Peng Shuai(China)French Open 2014 Mixed Doubles: Anna-Lena Grönefeld (Germany) / Jean-Julien Rojer(Netherlands)
